Principle

While on Facebook, I shared a meme that proposed bakers bake really ugly cakes for same-sex "weddings". A friend from my high school days saw this share and was outraged and made her outrage known. She found the meme cruel and mean-spirited. She then "defriended" me and blocked me.

I applaud her principled stance against one of the gravest injustices of our time. "They made ugly cakes for same-sex 'weddings', and I never had an ugly cake, so I didn't stand up. And then I was served a positively hideous crème brûlée, and by that time it was too late for any one to stand up (I could have dined and dashed, but that's way gauche)."
